It absorbs primarily in the UVB range, with useful reach into short-wave UVA (UVA II), making it a versatile building block for sun protection and daily-defence formulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond its own sun-protection contribution, Octocrylene is prized by formulators for two things: it is highly photostable and helps stabilise other, more fragile filters — most notably avobenzone — so a finished sunscreen holds its protection for longer in sunlight. It also boosts SPF and improves the water resistance and cushiony feel of the final product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTypical uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e sunscreens, day creams and lotions, tinted moisturisers, lip balms and after-sun products, and anywhere a stable, oil-phase UV filter is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/strong\u003e add to the oil phase and warm gently if needed to ease incorporation. Commonly used at up to 10%, adjusted to the protection level and the rest of the filter system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e sunscreens are a regulated product category. In New Zealand and Australia, finished sunscreens and their SPF claims fall under the sunscreen standard AS\/NZS 2604 — please formulate, test and label accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil-soluble · Photostable · Vegan · Not tested on animals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Sourcery","offers":[{"title":"500g","offer_id":52446854447384,"sku":"OCTOCRYLENE-500GM","price":167.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":52446854480152,"sku":"OCTOCRYLENE-1KG","price":285.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg","offer_id":52446854512920,"sku":"OCTOCRYLENE-5KG","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1773\/0328\/files\/Screenshot_2026-05-06_082042_logo_snip_FB_b7fe6d01-90df-46e8-bc91-48b941ad34e5.png?v=1779321589","url":"https:\/\/thesourcery.co.nz\/products\/octocrylene-uvb-sunscreen","provider":"The Sourcery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
